The meeting’s confirmed main speaker is R. CYNTHIA PRUETT, South West Representative on the National Audubon Board of Directors.

Cynthia has had a long history in leadership at Audubon, most recently with Tucson Audubon where she has been President of the Board as well as back east in Virginia. She also provided the National Board’s introduction of NAS’ President David Yarnold at this summer’s Audubon Chapters Conference in Utah so she can talk about what happened at that national gathering that now occurs every two years.

With her unique perspective and experience in the conservation field, we have asked her to touch on the strategic issues facing Audubon—demographics against us and the hard slog ahead on conserving rivers and bird habitat. The SAS Board is delighted to present her to all our Friends and to enter into a dialogue with her about Audubon and chapters and birds.
